Beating Back Pain in Greece

For anyone wanting to get help for symptoms of sciatica you may not be able to afford to go to Greece and dip into the mineral springs there. However, there are plenty of other ways to get relief from sciatica. Most people find that just stretching consistently will help you.

However, the article in the LA times was a pretty good read and added a sense of adventure to what would otherwise be dip in the hot tub.

Stinking plumes of steam rose around us as we wallowed in the glassy green waters and gazed at the pinkish-gray limestone slopes above us. "The great thing about coming here in winter is that the water stays a constant 27 centigrade [80 degrees Fahrenheit]," commented one elderly man, who came every year to soak in the waters, which are said to cure disorders as diverse as back pain and skin diseases.

One of the cool things about getting your back pain taken care of in Greece is that afterward you'd feel good enough to walk back through time and see all the cool historical architecture and monuments.
